what is a root canal Treatment?

• Root canal treatment is an essential procedure
  for infected teeth.
• By the time you need a root canal, its too late
  to save the life of the tooth because its
  already infected and dying.
• Why mummify a dead tooth? You do this because you
  want to keep the tooth in your mouth. Its a dead
  tooth thats mummified.
• But there are consequences. Having a root canal
  done makes the tooth brittle and prone to
  fracture think of the mummified pharaoh. The
  inside of the tooth has been scraped out, leaving
  the outer shell of the tooth dry, brittle, and
  prone to breakage.
• Thats why a root canal treatment requires a
  second procedure shortly afterwards A crown.

Why Do I Need Root Canal Treatment?

• There is a central soft tissue known as the tooth
  pulp inside of each tooth. When the tooth pulp
  becomes infected, it can become inflamed,
  building up pressure with nowhere to go.
• Infection can be caused by a variety of issues,
  such as decay, trauma, a chip or crack, faulty
  crown or if numerous procedures have already been
  performed on the tooth.
• Without addressing the problem, pain can increase
  and possibly cause an abscess to form or the loss
  of the tooth.

HOW TO KNOW THAT YOU NEED ROOT CANAL TREATMENT?

• At the Tooth Booth Dentists, we believe in
  preventing problems before they occur.
• Our Dentists recommend regular check-ups and
  maintaining good oral hygiene at home to prevent
  the possibility of root canal infections.
• However, infections can still appear, and we can
  support you in resolving the problem.
• The treatment involves removing the infected
  tooth pulp from the centre of your tooth, which
  is cleaned then filled and sealed to prevent
  future infection.
• The hole within the tooth which allowed access to
  the central root canal is then covered with a
  composite tooth filling or with a crown. You will
  then be able to enjoy full function of your tooth.

Is Root Canal Treatment Painful?

• Treatment will not feel any worse than having a
  tooth filled with an infection and after the
  treatment your tooth should be pain-free. Teeth
  that have had root canal treatment will normally
  need to be restored with a crown that covers up
  the tooth completely, protecting and preserving
  the tooth so it will last for many years to come.
